Einfluß des Lösungsmittels auf das Redoxverhalten von Tetrakis(triphenylphosphin)-platin(0), Tetrakis(triphenylphosphin)-palladium(0) und Tetrakis(triphenylphosphin)-nickel(0)

The redox behaviour of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-platinum(0) [Pt(TPP)₄], tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0) [Pd(TPP)₄] and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-nickel(0) [Ni(TPP)₄] has been studied in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile (AN), propanediol carbonate (PDC), N,N-dimethylthioformamide (DMTF) N-methylpyrrolidine-2-thione (NMTP) and nitromethane (NM). The platinum complex was found to undergo irreversible two electron oxidations with partial or complete loss of the ligands in all solvents but nitromethane. The palladium complex was also oxidized to the divalent form in the solvents studied except inPDC andNM where the complex was found to be polarographically inactive; Ni(TTP)₄ was reversibly or almost reversibly oxidized to a movovalent form inDMF, AN andDMTF followed by an irreversible oxidation to a divalent complex. Direct oxidation to the divalent form occurred inDMSO, no oxidation was observable inNMTP andPDC, decomposition took place in nitromethane. The half-wave potentials were recorded versus bisbiphenylchromium iodide (BBCr)I as an internal standard. The influence of the solvents on the redox behaviour and the dissociation of ligands is discussed.

Electron attachment to Ni(PF(3))(4) and Pt(PF(3))(4)

An experimental study has been made of thermal electron attachment to the transition-metal trifluorophosphine complexes Ni(PF(3))(4) and Pt(PF(3))(4) using a flowing-afterglow Langmuir-probe apparatus. Both complexes are efficient at electron attachment, although the rate constants are somewhat less than collisional. The rate constant for electron attachment to Ni(PF(3))(4) is 1.9 x 10(-7) cm(3) s(-1) at room temperature, about a factor of 2 less than collisional. The activation energy is 39+/-5 meV for the attachment reaction. The rate constant for electron attachment to Pt(PF(3))(4) is 5.4 x 10(-8) cm(3) s(-1) at room temperature, and the activation energy is 84+/-8 meV. For both complexes, a PF(3) ligand is lost on electron attachment, and only the M(PF(3))(3)(-) ion is observed in the negative-ion mass spectrum. Density functional calculations were carried out on Ni(PF(3))(4) and various fragments in order to describe the thermochemistry of the attachment reaction.     

Force-constant calculations for Ni(PF3)4, Pd(PF3)4 and Pt(PF3)4

Force constants for a SVFF approximation have been obtained for the compounds Ni(PF₃)₄, Pd(PF₃)₄ and Pt(PF₃)₄ using the FG matrix method and vibrational assignments (A₁, E and F₂ symmetry species) on the basis of regular tetrahedral symmetry, point group T_d. Six primary force constants involving bond stretching and bond angle changes and five interaction force constants were used to simultaneously fit the observed wavenumbers. The PF stretching force constant differs by only ± 3% for all three compounds and for the free ligand, PF₃. The metal—phosphorus stretching force constant, however, increases significantly in the order Ni < Pd < Pt, and is 65% larger for Pt(PF₃)₄ than for Ni(PF₃)₄. These changes are discussed in terms of the metal—phosphorus—fluorine bonding in M(PF₃)₄ compounds.

Synthesis, Structure and Properties of Tetrakis (thiourea) mercury (II) Tetrakis (thiocyanato-N) zinc (II)

Introduction In recent years, much attention has been paid to the research of novel, high-quality nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, especially those metalorganic complex crystals that can generate high efficient second-harmonic blue-violet light using GaAlAs laser diodes. In order to find this type of crystals, much work has been done in our laboratory on the complex crystals of MM'(SCN)4 and MM'(SCN)·nL, where M = Zn, Cd, Mn; M' = Cd, Hg and L = adduct1-6.
